Yes, they work with any bulks and chassis- they are UE monoblocks so have to be bought from UE:

( who dont sell outside of the USA ) unless you get lucky and find one on ebay or a forum for sale. Don't forget the extended rear driveshaft that you will need to find or make..

Bah. I live in Norway, so that's a no go. Are there any other parts like this for the Maxx? Or is there a guide on how to make one at home? Just need to extend it a bit.

Sure about that?
I can enter my adress and country for shipping and it seems they realised that credit cards are a valid payment option.
So I don't see any reasons why you couldn't order from them?

International PayPal/Credit Card orders will not be accepted. Too much international fraud. When it happens we have no recourse and CC company just takes the money. While PayPal does have "international verified" they will only back it if it's shipped to a "confirmed address." They do not confirm international addresses. Catch 22, until they resolve this I will not accept international PayPal orders.

International money orders are not secure either - too many cases of fraud and again we have no recourse.

Wire transfer is available to international customers. Contact me at MonsterMaxx@att.net for transfer information.

You might be able to place an order, but I imagine it will be canceled and refunded once he knows where the order is from as-such. I had to ask another member in the USA to buy the parts for me & ship them to me in the UK, then send them the money- it was the only way to get UE parts directly from UE.

No-one else makes a chassis extension like this, at best you can buy an extended chassis but nothing that is longer than the stock 'new' emaxx chassis ( FLM 3905 chassis for example, or the FLM 3906 extended chassis which is about the same length as the new emaxx one too ).

I forgot how fun this truck can be! Old tire glue + 5 mins on newly charged 5s NeuEnergy batteries = unglued tires Oh and an almost completely aluminum truck with a UE monoblock extension and UE RacerX setback arms still flips

Ok so I have been away for about a year. I need a stronger steering servo, a wheelie bar and a body that will fit. Any suggestions?

What's your budget?

Right now many guys are using the hitec 7995tg ( ~$90, 333in/oz ) or the nice Savox 1256tg ( ~$70, 270in/oz ), though there are loads of options really- some really nice HV servos around from Turnigy ( hobbking.com ) which are really cheap and powerful, just means running an external BEC to power them with ~7v of juice...

Thanks Neil, that will give me a starting point.

I'm using the HS-5955TG and I really like it.
It's the predecessor of the 7955TG, same muscle, slower brains as far as I know.

Back Again! After couple year hiatus.... Looking for some new batteries...5s or 6s...what is current???

[Kcaz25]

Mark! I'm glad to see you back! I can no longer convince myself to buy top of the line batteries anymore (too expensive, plus I have a wife) I have two "35c-70c" turnigy nanotechs both are 4s. I really like them so far 10 runs on each. They aren't as good as 35c hyperions but they are pretty good. They always take a full 5000mah after a discharge. no puffing. I do recommend 5s, but you already know all of this.

I bought a new losi buggy. I love the simplicity and they are supermaxx tough.

Great to see you back Mark. I just came out of hiatus too and found out the vastly improved choices for batteries. I'm with Zack, no need for fancy and high end batteries when the mainstream are as good as the best minus the price tag.

Welcome back

I had to post, so good to see familiar names here at Rc-M!

6s all the way!!! It'll be 12s before you know it.

You are kind of where I was when I started the High Voltage Lightning Project. Have some nice stuff, want to modify or make it work with modern brushless. What I came to face was that nothing was designed for modern power and batteries. Check it out, you might find it interesting.
It's on sale until Monday too, Black Friday thing.

See this post for detail on the three trucks we run here.
